Salt mixed with soda is a remedy for bee stings. Salt and water makes nn excellent throat gargle. Salt and hot water will thaw a frozen drain-ptpe.

More Marvellous and Than Radium. In Central Russian Asia, and pre- cisely in the territory of Ferghana, ,u local explorer has discovered a new metal even more marvellous and more mysterious than radium. The scien- tist in question, while handling min- erals, put his hand by chance on a soft body, of a considerable weight, of opaque color. This, being abso- lutely unknown, readily absorbed his attention. The new metal was car- ried to the Moscow chemical labora- tory, and subjected to minutely care- ful experiments, which afforded sur- prising results. In the presence of an arid it developed so intense a cold as immediately to reduce to powder, without gas emanations and without explosions, the receivers of glass, iron, and particularly thick granite, into which it was successively intro- duced. Treated with alkaline mutter tho substance, which has not n name yet, and which reniaihcd refractory to all the analytical processes, lost one-fifth of its weight. A sufficiency of it has now been collected for the purpose of systematic observations, which will have to be conducted with very great care, and will reveal, it is hoped, the true importance of the dis- covery, which the Russian scientists incline to regard as superior to that of radium itself. Meanwhile the sur- prising fact is the loss of weight un- dergowe t.y fol! objetts p'aced in con- tact with the new metal "He offers me a platonic affection." "Well, take it.

THE ALUED ARMIES ARE WELL FED THE PRINCIPAL FOODS ARE MEAT AND BREAD. , British Forces Are the Best Fed Ever Placed in the Field. ' ! No branch «rf the non-combatant services of the British army has won greateT praise from soldiers at the front or more admiration from the public at home than has the Army Service Corps. It is only owing to the untiring efforts of this little army of provision merchants that the Bri- tish forces have gained their reputa- tion as the beat-fed army that has ever been placed in the field. The knowledge of this splendid pr». visioning of the army has uncoi%- sciously g:iven rise to the theory that the g»'ifefg-ii ^ t he other Allies are comparative\j-WM:e or less insuflfi- ciently supplitAlfctti ammunition for the inner man. These impressions, vijfc^ever, are er tirely erroneous. "-^.^^BRfplff'Son tween the offi^jfal rations alloweu the soldiers of the allied nations wi. prove that the Frenchmen and th« Russian are, like the British soldier amgng the best-fed fighters in histor> In each of the allied armies â€" Bri tish, French, Russian and Belgian- the principal foods are meat ant" bread. A glance at the following fi - ures, which indicate the daily alio ance of meat and bread to every m. of the four armies, will show t> the fare of the others compares favorably with that of. the Briti Meat, Brt lbs. lbs ' British IVi 1^ French 1 l')4 Russian 0% 2^ Belgian 0% 1% How Russians Are Fed. «â-  The Briton, it will thus be seen, actually receives less bread than any of his comrades; but, on the other hand, his allowance of meat is con- siderably larger. In examining the soldiers' menus more closely, that of the Russian may be taken first, since it is the least known. In every case the allowances have been translated into English terms in order to make a comparison easier. The Russian breakfasts later than any of the allied soldiers. He doea not receive his first ration until just before 8 o'clock. These are: Half an ounce of Tchai (tea), Three ounces of sugar. Three funt (2% lbs.) Cherni Chiel (black bread). " The tea and sugar have to last al! day. The bread is usually served oul on alternate days, six funt, (a littli less than six pounds) each time. For dinner, which generally takes place just before noon, each group ol ten soldiers receives a large dish of "Borsht." This contains c/ibbage and potatoes mixed in various gravies. The ten men sit around the dish, each with a big wooden spoon, and all help themselves at once. After this comes the national dish "Kasha," a kind of porridge. This the men eat in the same fashion as "Borsht." "Kasha" is very cheap in Russia, and soldiers can have as much as they want. When this has been disposed of the meal finishes with an allowance of half a pound of meat per man. The meat is cooked with the "Borsht." The third and last Russian meal ' is served about 6.30 in the evening and consists of more "Borsht," together with a quarter of a pound of meat. It often happens that the Russian soldier~'receives more bread than he needs, and the surplus he is allowed to sell in order to increase his meagre pay, which, it may be interesting to add, amounts to 50 kopecs, about a shilling, a month. The Belgian Soldier is allowed nearly 1% pounds of bread per day. This is known as "pain gris," a mixture of white and blaek bread. His meals are: Breakfast, 0.30 a.m. â€" Bread; coffee, containing milk and sugar. As a gen- eral rule butter has not been served, though it is expected to be added to the rations in future. Dinner, 12 noon. â€" About 2 pints of soup ,to which plenty of salt is added; % of a pound of meat, which is boiled with the soup and afterward taken out and served separately; 2% pounds of mashed potatoes, in which bacon and vegetables are mixed; sometimes pudding. Supper, 6 p.m. â€" Two pounds of mashed potatoes, with other vege- tables, and bacon, which is added to make the vegetables a little fat. This mixture of vegetables and ba- con forms the principal food of the Belgians. Frequently the soldier, af- ter his morning coffee, gets no other beverage but water. Upon going in- to the trenches he is usually given a ration of condensed meat, equal in proportion to the daily ration. The daily allowance of the French soldier is somewhat similar to that of the Belgian. ^ _*_ Ambushed. He (thinking of another girl) â€" "Would you believe that I am des- perately in love?"
